Thanks, Bo and Tony. Your replies cover a lot of the same ground, so I will combine my answers. The problem was that the tagging function hangs when tagging more than 1000 files. This is true using TortoiseCVS or the command line on the local Linux server. You gave me 3 suggestions: 1) Disable the -c option. 2) Disable the taginfo script 3) Upgrade to a current version of cvsnt. Options 1 & 2 together make the whole system work from the command line and the remote client. The remote client fails if either of those two options is enabled, but the command line option works if taginfo is disabled whether -c is enabled or not. I am not ready to condemn taginfo, though. I replaced my taginfo script with a bash shell script that simply says "exit 0;" and got the exact same symptoms. The problem seems not to be with the script, but with trying to pull together the files that need to be tested. I guess I need to do the upgrade and try again.
